OCR in your browser
Extract text from PDFs, JPEGs and PNGs. Copy it, download it or create a searchable PDF copy.
You can also drag a file here. One document at a time, up to 100 MB.
The document is processed on your device. Your browser downloads OCR components from the site without sending the file’s contents.
OCR settings
Selectable text is normally extracted directly. OCR is used on scanned pages and images.
Extracted text
The result retains all original data. This tool does not anonymise the document.
Check the result
Check names, dates, amounts and numbers before using the text. Unclear scans, tables, handwriting and rotated documents may need corrections.
The exported PDF is a new copy with pages redrawn as images and invisible text for searching and selection. It does not retain digital signatures, forms or links from the original PDF. Your original file is unchanged.
File and text stay in this page’s memory until you remove them or close the page. OCR components may be retained in the browser’s cache.
